There are moments that shape our careers, and us as people, and this day was one of them. Having lived in New York for five years, Fashion Weeks meant cool after-parties and a lot of celebrity sighting. But this day, the day of the Chanel Haute Couture Presentation, I discovered a completely different side to fashion.

That day I woke up with very high levels of excitement and anticipation. The same excitement we all felt before our first day of school, where we would not know anything or anyone. I remember walking down Fifth Avenue, the same avenue I so many times had walked with a pit in my stomach. Filled with curiosity and joy because I was about to experience something new. And guys, the world of haute couture is an experience in itself- it is all custom made, brought in from France, and filled with delicate handmade details that culminate in the creation of a one of a kind dream piece.

At the crossing of 57th Street and that famous avenue, I walked through the Chanel doors nervous my shoes would fall off because they were a bit big on me. The elevator doors opened and immediately, I found myself in a studio decorated with with design sketches on the walls and sewing kits. A very nice lady from the Chanel team saluted me and began to explaining the laser-cut techniques and feathers on some of the designs.

Around July this year, Karl (Lagerfeld) took his entire design team and their respective materials, the Rue Cambon workshops and moved to the Grand Palais in Paris. Designers resume their work and half of what seemed a normal day in their ateliers, began the catwalk Fall 2016. Imagine watching a dress being modeled, coming alive, and around 200 people who helped tailor.

In this same scene takes its influence PR team of Chanel in New York to decorate the showroom and results in a hall decorated to assimilate a studio and perfect background for presentation couture. Among a cozy space decorated with cutting tables, fabrics, embroidery materials, pencils and mannequins Chanel brand, meticulous and detailed designs waiting to be discovered.

As always, take pictures until I ran out the battery cell. I leave my favorite. Goodbye my sweet Chanel!
